Reaching New Heights: Pubudu Jayawardena Conquers the Base Camp of Mount Everest
We are thrilled to celebrate an incredible milestone achieved by one of our own — Pubudu Jayawardena, former President of the Old Nalandians Association in Melbourne.
Pubudu has always been a pillar of our community, dedicating his precious time, energy, and heart to supporting fellow Nalandians. Under his leadership, the Melbourne chapter of ONAA flourished, fostering connections, organizing events, and strengthening the spirit of camaraderie that binds all Nalandians together. His unwavering commitment to the community has left a lasting legacy that continues to inspire us all.
But Pubudu’s passion and determination extend far beyond the borders of our community. Recently, he achieved a dream that very few dare to pursue — reaching the base camp of Mount Everest. Standing at the foot of the world’s tallest mountain, he demonstrated not only physical endurance but also mental fortitude, courage, and perseverance.
Climbing to Everest Base Camp is no small feat. It requires months of preparation, intense training, and the resilience to face harsh weather conditions, altitude challenges, and physical exhaustion. Pubudu’s journey serves as a living testament to the power of determination and self-belief.
This achievement is more than just a personal milestone — it is an inspiration to every Nalandian and beyond. It reminds us that with vision, courage, and relentless effort, even the loftiest goals can be realized. Pubudu has shown us that the path to success is paved with passion, commitment, and the willingness to push beyond limits.
We are incredibly proud to celebrate another Nalandian who has reached great heights—literally and figuratively. Pubudu’s journey is a shining example of what can be achieved when one dares to dream big, works hard, and remains steadfast in pursuit of those dreams.
Hats off to you, brother Pubudu! Your journey inspires us to chase our own ambitions, embrace challenges, and live with purpose and determination. Thank you for being a living example of courage, commitment, and leadership.
Once a Nalandian, Always a Nalandian!
